A church house gin house
A school house outhouse
On highway number nineteen

The people keep the city clean

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush

They call it Nutbush city limits

Twenty-five for speed limit

Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go to store on Friday


You go to church on Sunday

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush

They call it Nutbush city limits

You go to the fields on weekdays

And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to church every Sunday


They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits


No whiskey for sale
If you can't have no bail

Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail


They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city
They call it Nutbush city limits


A little old town in Tennessee
A quiet little old community

A one-horse town
You have to watch what you're putting down
Nutbush city limits

Nutbush city
Oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
